I was reading a thread on another board about how worthless the pre-season polls are and how the voters are usually uninformed homers.....thus, regionally biased poles... blah, blah, blah. I thought it would be interesting to try and quantify the relevance of pre-season poles by looking at the percentage of teams ranked in the pre season top 25 and seeing how many were there at the end of the season....I also thought there needs to be some type of way to weight the teams that are there (ie. #1 at preseason that is #4 post should be worth more than #1 that slips to #23). I feel the AGS pollsters take more time and have more overall knowledge than any other poll out there (including the bigs)...that is why I no longer vote in it. I did not feel like I had the necessary knowledge outside of my region to keep up with the rest of you. Hopefully someone who loves to analyze statistics will take this idea and run with it!
